EAST LAKE

Natural site to discover
5/5
1 review

This vast expanse of water (33 km ²), located in the heart of Wuchang, is one of the lungs of this great industrial centre. With an area of six times higher than Xihu lake in Hangzhou, Eastern Lake is a privileged promenade for urban dwellers. The numerous coves, peninsula and hills that occupy the shores of the lake contribute to a unique picturesque environment. Donghu is often called the lake at 99 Elbow due to the extreme splitting of its shores.

The hill of Moshan, which trains a peninsula to the east of the lake, is a very pleasant place from which we have a very good view over the lake. At the foot of the hill is the city Chu, an architectural ensemble designed to revive the original regional culture of the dynasty of the Chu. A tea house is also nestled at the foot of Moshan.

Luohong Hill, south-east of the lake, consists of several ancient monasteries and a water sports base.
